Oxford An Introduction to Nonlinear Chemical Dynamics: Oscillations, Waves, Patterns, and Chaos
Oxford University Press, Sep 1998, Pages: 408
Assuming no more than an undergraduate knowledge of chemistry, the authors take the reader through the necessary mathematical and theoretical background of oscillating reactions, chaos and chemical waves to advanced topics of current research interest in chemical systems, including applications biology and polymers.
Intense study of oscillating chemical reactions and nonlinear dynamics in chemistry is only about 30 years old, but there has been enormous progress in understanding this fascinating and important area of chemistry. This advance was triggered in the 1960s by two nearly simultaneous developments. The first was Ilya Prigogines theory of dissipative structures (an early form of complexity theory). The second was the discovery, with later mechanistic elucidation by Field, Köros, and Noyes, of an unequivocal chemical example, the cerium-ion-catalyzed oxidation of CH2(COOH)2 by BrO3- (the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction), in which oscillations in [Br-] and in [CeIV]/[CeIII] are easily observed. This book is a comprehensive overview of the area and covers basic chemistry, underlying theory, experimental methods, and applications.
